今日、1月7日は七草粥を食べる日と言われています。青菜の摂取が不足しがちなこの時期に、しっかりと体に取り入れるためでもあり、さらに、お正月のごちそうで疲れた胃腸をいたわるためという説もあるそうです。私たちはいつもと変わらない朝食をいただきました。午前中は天気が良かったのですが、午後からは曇天となり気温も下がってきました。クルミくんは昨日の来客で少し疲れたのか朝遅くまで眠っていました。
Today, January 7, is said to be the day to eat the seven herbs porridge. It is also said that it is a way to get greens into the body during this time of the year when we tend to consume less of them, and also to relieve the stomach and intestines that are tired from the New Year’s feast. We had breakfast as usual by the way. The weather was fine in the morning, but it became cloudy in the afternoon and the temperature dropped. Kurumi slept until late in the morning, perhaps a little tired from yesterday’s visitors.
